Lhamoizingkha Dungkhag
Dagana
Lhamoizingkha Dungkhag is a sub-district (dungkhag) located in Dagana Dzongkhag, Bhutan. It serves as an administrative and judicial unit, comprising the town of Lhamoizingkha and three gewogs: Lhamoizingkha, Deorali, and Nichula (Zinchula). Historically, this dungkhag was part of Sarpang Dzongkhag until its transfer to Dagana in 2007, marking a significant territorial adjustment in Bhutan's local governance. The dungkhag functions under the leadership of a Dungpa, who oversees administration and coordination for the constituent gewogs. Although dungkhags no longer hold formal administrative status under the Local Government Act of 2009, they continue to operate judicially as courts of first instance, subordinate to Dzongkhag Courts. This unique blend of administrative and judicial roles makes Lhamoizingkha Dungkhag an important local governance hub in southern Bhutan. Its location at the westernmost part of the former Sarpang and now the southernmost part of Dagana places it strategically within Bhutan's territorial divisions.

Historia
Lhamoizingkha Dungkhag was originally part of Sarpang Dzongkhag until 2007, when it was formally transferred to Dagana Dzongkhag.
This transfer included the town of Lhamoizingkha and its three constituent gewogs, marking a notable change in Bhutan's internal territorial organization.
Historically, dungkhags such as Lhamoizingkha served as sub-districts with administrative executives called Dungpas, who coordinated local governance.
The 2007 Local Government Act codified dungkhags as courts of first instance within Bhutan's judicial system.
However, the 2009 Local Government Act repealed their administrative status, although they retained judicial functions under the Constitution.
